While a day without a DAMMIT PHIL is like a day I don't have the internet, I only get those from folks at the FDA about once a quarter. I regret to inform folks a new Broughton File has been started for Bullshit Ionizing Radiation Devices, separate from the Bullshit Laser Products one.

I recommend avoiding any spa treatments involving lasers or x-rays.

> spa treatments > X-rays Those things . . . do not belong together.

I had to work very hard not to laugh at the laser scorched butthole and taint from an unlicensed operator using an illegally imported laser hair remover at spa. But DEXA units are somewhat common and such places.

IN PARTICULAR, in America, avoid spas in Miami and Santa Monica.

I am annoyed that real life seems unlikely to ever produce energy beam weapons that can be reliably set to stun.

You know, I would never have guessed that a laser safety expert could get a butthole story comparable to any ER doctor's butthole stories.

Phil why are spas doing bone scans

To show you that you are getting GAINZ from your sweet supplements (totes not steroids) and routine.

I deeply regret the half-remembered incredibly stupid thing this made me go look up which I thought might have been related, but in fact is an *unrelated* incredibly stupid thing that only *apocryphally* involves intentional bone damage.

Graphic design is your passion. Thank you, this was a great thing to wake up to. My brand is incredibly strong.

DAMMIT PHIL is so powerful my phone auto capitalised those words

With a moment or two of spare time, this could be turned into the 'PHIL OFFLINE' concert tour t-shirt with some of your best visits listed on the back. But I wake and baked, so just do what you can with that.

I get more Mans Life cover vibes. Replace weasels ripped my flesh with lasers scorched my butthole.

I did not expect to read "laser scorched butthole and taint" today, but I did.

I've been here for decades, I just have never seen that phrase and feel kind of bad I giggled.

There are very few things I want aimed at my arse, other than admiring looks, and this sort of device has to be rocketing up the list.

Big like for "rocketing up," for obvious reasons.

I'm sure it's fine, the technician has their GED and a while twelve minutes of training!

Please don’t challenge Phil. He knows many and terrible things that are not only true but also he has all the receipts to prove it. Few are prepared to know how fragile (it’s Italian) our existence really is.

This sounds even worse than butthole bleaching, which was a thing. Or the butthole tanning stuff
Avatar
Those tend to not involve high powered lasers.

Why is it that whenever I see a somewhat vague Phil-response, scrolling up yields a "well that's interesting" most of the time as well as regret about half the time.

I feel like this might have come up in a James Bond movie

I am alarmed to learn that ablative laser facials are a thing.

. . . Performing a facial with a laser?! !!
Avatar
I mean it makes physical sense, just seems a little alarming. Overkill. Like using a blowtorch to solder a SOIC-8.

Here at Therac Spa, we promise to almost certainly provide you with a safe and healthful experience!

Phil it alarms me that my first thought was "yeah I can see dipshits going X ray is good for you" instead of realizing that laser hair removal involves... lasers
Avatar
Totally different bullshit at work. X-ray proves how swole you are. That the GAINZ are real.
Avatar
I assumed it was a reversion to marketing from when X Ray was new and radium was hot, not brain-free Gym Bro stuff

I know many people who have had laser hair removal and none of us had it done at a *spa*! It's valuable therapy for many, but I would've thought it would be regulated. It certainly is over here in the UK.
Avatar
I had some done once and I'm certain it is normally regulated here in the US, but if the place is also offering recreational x-rays, the whole vibe is of a business that does not care

"recreational x-rays" sounds like a punk/prog band

"Hi, we're _recreational x-rays_ and this is our latest track _what doesn't kill you makes you stranger_"
